I want to start writing fullstack JS apps so I'm pretty good already with gulp for frontend stuff
Now I want to make a small express server but I was trying to think what a good solution to integrate both things would be or if there's another way of doing things.
My idea is to have my express app launch a server then edit frontend stuff that gets compiled and spitted to the public folder so express uses it as static files, then I want to have the browser reload on change maybe with browser sync but also when I edit backend stuff with nodemon.
Hope someone has an answer for this
Thanks!!

24,176 PointsThanks a lot for the input so basically make nodemon inside of gulp with gulp-nodemon right.
But what i'm not sure about your tasks is if the browser window gets reloaded after a change??
Still i'm sure implementing your part of gulp-nodemon.
Here is my usual gulp workflow for frontend stuff if you want to peek at it as well :)
